Bolaji Abdullahi, former
spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says Senate President Bukola
Saraki did not betray him.
Abdullahi said this in reaction
to reports that the senate president worked against his governorship ambition.
An aspirant of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara state, Abdullahi withdrew from the race on
Monday.
In a statement, Abdullahi said
though the outcome of the primaries may have been disappointing, he has
“accepted it as the will of Allah”.
He said the sacrifices he made
for the party were not dependent on expectations of a reward but were done out
of personal principles.
“Following the reactions that
have trailed the Governorship Primaries of our party, the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) in Kwara state, it has become imperative for me to make the
following clarifications,” the statement read.
“While the outcome of the
primaries may have been disappointing, I have accepted it as the will of
Almighty Allah, who alone gives power. I want to thank all those who have
expressed concerns for me. I am humbled and flattered by your support.
“However, I will like to note
that there are many factors at play in politics. Therefore, interpreting what
happened as betrayal is not correct. My leader, Dr. Bukola Saraki, did not
betray me.
“Whatever sacrifices I have made
in the past were based on my personal principles, and were not contingent on
expectations of any reward. I remain a loyal member of the Saraki political
family under the leadership of Dr. Bukola Saraki.”
